<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this account of how we arrive at love, the author tells how she warily commits to a male therapist who shares little of her cultural and intellectual world. Their improvized relationship is as unexpectedly pleasurable as her writing is unconventional.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When she begins therapy for depression after breast cancer treatment, the author brings with her an extraordinarily open and critical mind, but also shyness about revealing herself. Resisting easy responses to issues of dependence, desire, and mortality, she warily commits to a male therapist who shares little of her cultural and intellectual world. <p/>Although not without pain, their improvised relationship is as unexpectedly pleasurable as her writing is unconventional: Sedgwick combines dialogue, verse, and even her therapist's notes to explore her interior life--and delivers and delicate and tender account of how we arrive at love.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick</b> (1950-2009) was a leading gender and critical theorist.
